What if a draft never clears the score bar?

You keep it, with its real score. The pipeline reports the number rather than claiming a pass, and the failing checks usually name length or internal links.

How many internal links will an article carry?

One to six, your choice. The limit is enforced after generation, and a short article may carry fewer when relevant targets run out.

Will it invent sources?

No. Citations point only at sources the generator can verify exist, so a niche topic returns fewer of them rather than fabricated ones.

How long does a run take?

Standard is one pass. Skyscraper fits research, drafting and up to four revisions inside a hard budget of slightly under five minutes.

What does an article cost in credits?

One credit for a standard draft, two for Skyscraper, the Content Refresher or a Super Page. A run that fails before finishing charges nothing.

Does it publish to my site by itself?

No. Writing and publishing are separate acts. A draft stays in the product until you send it to a connected platform, and that publish is then checked at the public URL.

Do I need a developer?

No. Generation runs in the browser and publishing goes through a connected platform. A developer is involved only where your site is published from a repository.

Which platforms can it publish to?

Nine, plus a signed webhook. WordPress directly or through the official plugin, Shopify, BigCommerce, Webflow, Wix, Ghost, GoHighLevel, Snapps, and GitHub for git-built sites.

Content engine

Articles scored by the audit engine

Give it a keyword. It researches, drafts with internal links and images, then scores the result on the same 36 checks that grade audited pages.

Generate an article Try free: AI content writer

Most AI writers hand you a plausible draft for any keyword.

Nothing researched what already ranks, the internal links point at paths that were invented, and the writer graded its own work. The editing you were trying to skip is the editing you do.

Standard drafts once, Skyscraper revises

Standard writes one researched draft, for volume. Skyscraper is a separate pipeline: it drafts, scores and revises until the draft clears the bar or spends its four revisions.

Help centre: Generating an article

A finished draft, graded: the article score panel reads 93 out of 100, grade A, 22 of 25 checks passed, over a Where the points are breakdown that scores Keyword & Intent, Structure and Depth & Readability. — The score splits into named groups with the points each one earned, and below the breakdown the panel names the checks it failed: Flesch reading ease, average sentence length and outbound internal links, each with the measurement that failed it.

Scored by the engine that grades audits
Every draft runs the same deterministic 36 checks in six categories the audits use, so a 90 here means what a 90 means on an audited page. On a wide screen the panel sits beside the draft it graded, so a failing check is read against the text that failed it.
Skyscraper reads page one first
It reads the live results for your keyword, runs a gap analysis of what the ranking pages cover, and writes to beat that.
Links chosen from crawled URLs
With your website selected, the writer picks link targets from URLs your audit crawl found. The 1-to-6 count you set is enforced after generation, outside the model.
Citations point only at verified sources
Sources are ones the generator can verify exist, so a thin topic yields fewer citations rather than invented ones. Blog posts default to citations on, money pages off.
Every placed image carries alt text
Free stock from Pexels, Pixabay and Wikimedia, images your audit crawl found on your own site, or AI generation when nothing suitable exists. Attribution ships where a licence requires it.

How it works

The sequence, start to finish. Read it in order: each step assumes the one above it has already run.

Pick the keyword and mode
Enter a target keyword or take a page from your content plan, then choose standard or Skyscraper. A planned card offers Write for me, Rewrite or Brief, so the draft starts from the dated row rather than an empty box.
Watch the draft stream
The article streams as it is written, and Skyscraper's step tracker shows research, gap analysis, draft, then each scoring pass.
Read the score
The done summary reports the final score and the revision count, so you publish, edit, or rerun on evidence.

The content calendar as a month grid, with a dated cell under each weekday column. — A stored plan, laid out on the month the work falls due. Where a day carries a card, the card names the keyword it answers and the action it offers, so a draft starts from a dated plan item rather than from an empty box.

Approach	How it works	Here
A general AI writing tool	How it worksIt drafts from your prompt and what the model already holds, then hands you the text to judge.	HereThe draft is scored by the same 36-check engine that grades audited pages, and Skyscraper revises against that number up to four times.
A writer plus a house checklist	How it worksA person drafts, someone else reads it against the checklist, and the notes go back. The reading is a judgement each time.	HereThe checklist is deterministic and runs on every draft, so the same text always returns the same score and two articles compare.
A content brief tool	How it worksIt names the terms and headings to cover, then leaves the writing, the linking and the checking to you.	HereSkyscraper reads the live results for the keyword, runs a gap analysis against them, and writes with link targets taken from your own crawl.
An SEO plugin scoring the finished post	How it worksThe draft is pasted into the CMS first, and the plugin grades what is already there against the keyword you enter.	HereScoring happens inside the pipeline before you see the draft, and the summary reports the final score and the revision count.
